I’m researching my Parrish ancestor, David James Parrish b. 1831 Nicholas Co.,
KY; died Feb. 17, 1889 Grant County, OR (Grant Co became Wheeler Co.) I would
like to find where he is buried. I found on line several Parrish’s in the
Richmond Cemetery that could be relatives. There is a “unknown Parrish” on the
list & wondering if it might possibly be my gt. grandfather.

In the Canyon City, OR courthouse I found the Petition for app’t of
administrator filed Apr. 29, 1889 – Of the matter of the Estate of D. J. Parrish
dec’d. His son, George was the administrator & his sister Sarah E. Lee is my gt.
grandmother, so know this is the right family. George Wesley Parrish b. Nov. 23,
1861 resided near Shoo Fly, Grant County, OR when his father died. I believe he
herded sheep for his mother in law, Mrs. Lewis Any info or connection to someone
that might have info for me would be most appreciated. We’ll be traveling up
thru OR the first part of July with pickup & 27 ft. travel trailer. Is the road
drivable out to the Richmond Cemetery from #207 N. of Mitchell?

Great Grandfather Jacob Livingood Barnhouse was a homesteader and first built a
Cabin (still standing) in Picture Gorge East of the Antone Road on Hwy 26.
I would love to share my family history, also I am looking for a listing for the
Mitchell Cemetery west of Mitchell (IOOF)

I was just wondering if anyone has a surname list or a
burial listing of the cemeteries at Kinzua, Spray, and Winlock?? The
reason I'm asking is that it seems that some of my families are buried there (
pre 1920 ). I walked in two of them 2 years ago never knowing that the names
were of my family.

I am looking for info on the Deguire family in Fossil. My
GGGrandmother Mary Jennie Parrish (1862-1940) married Lewis James Deguire, had
two children: Edith (1880), a son (c1884-1888), He died in
1888 in Fossil. She then married his brother, Henry R. Deguire. I am looking to
see if there is anything for Lewis James or the child that died.

MONROE, William came to Mitchell,Wheeler Co from Iowa in
1860 with wife Margaret & children : Jane, Thomas, Dorcas, Sarah P., Franklin P.
Did William buy land there? When did he leave for Eugene, OR? Any marriages of
children there?

The Information that I have states that Benjamin Franklin NOTT, b. 1862 in Pike
County, IL, was the first Dentist in Central Oregon. Specifically, Fossil,
Oregon, 1900. Benjamin and his wife, Sarah LEWIS NOTT, had three children, all
born in Fossil. The children were Ora (f), Ray and Amy. Benjamin Franklin NOTT
was the son of Reverend Ephriam NOTT, a Campbellite Preacher and stage coach
driver. Ephriam shows in Marion County, Oregon in 1880. Looking for researchers
with whom to share information, leads, etc.

Have information regarding the BUTLER, KEYES, DONNELLYS, BROWNS and
related families of Richmond, Wheeler County, Oregon arrival in Oregon circa
1850's and later.

Henry Tucker (Tuck) Peters Seeking information on the family of Henry T.
(Tuck) Peters, born, c.1858, Carter County, TN and Mary Arnold Peters, born
c.1862, Carter County, Tn. I would like to correspond with anyone who is
researching or descends from this family.

Taylor, Hugh: In search of my Great Grandfather, Hugh Taylor. While in
his early 50's he left Jersey, Ohio soon after the death of his wife in
February, 1910. He worked on irrigation projects along the Columbia River. He
may have been drawn to various members of the Condit family who moved to Oregon
in the early 1900s from both New Jersey and Ohio. One or more of the Condits may
have been preachers who established Presbyterian churches in the area during
this period. Any suggestions or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Please

GEORGE. Looking to make contact with the children and/or grandchildren of
my great-uncle, Leopold (Slim) George; b:Jan 7/1876 in St. Paul, Kansas, d:June,
1951 in Oregon. 1914 Leopold George moved with his mother & adult siblings to
Killam, Alberta Canada when the Canadian West was being settled. Circa, 1930's
Leopold George & his wife, Theresa (Venneman) George, moved to, I believe, the
Portland area, but due to a lack of info. within the family in Canada, could
very well be anywhere in OR state. They had 5 children: Maxine, Mary, Kay,
Edmond, and Nick. All the children would have been born between 1902 - 1920.

WILSON. Looking to make contact with the children and/or grandchildren of
Petronella "Nell" (George) Wilson & Raymond Wilson. Nell (George) Wilson was
born Dec 2, 1883, died Sept. 1966 in Oregon. 1914 Petronella (George) Wilson
moved with her mother & adult siblings to WA state temporarily. Most of the
George family eventually moved on to settle in Killam, Alberta Canada. My guess
is Nell met Ray Wilson in WA state, married, and settled in the Portland area,
and never did move to Killam, Alberta Canada with the rest of the family. Due to
a lack of info within the family in Canada, this family could very well have
settled elsewhere in OR state, but probably the Portland area. They had 6
children: Jeanette, Bernadette married Carl Helgerson, Marie married Ben
Johnson, Dan married Rose Petersen, Bill married Eva Hetzler, and Ted married
Harriet Murphy.

Researching JUDSON surname; would like to exchange data; presently have

I would like to find any information on WILLIAM TICE b. 1863 Ia. and his
Sister, JENNIE TICE b. 1866 Ia. They appear on the 1880 Yamhill Co. census
living with their older Sister, Anna (Tice) Morgareidge and her husband James
Morgareidge. Their father, Isaac Tice and mother Elizabeth (Ross) Tice both died
and left their 6 children orphans. They lived with their mother's brother till
Anna married. Isaac Tice lived in Clatsop Co. in 1854-56 and then moved to
Harrison Co. Ia. Believe that he had relation that lived in Washington Co.,
Jackson Co. Yamhill Co. but have yet to put all this family together.
